The optional iDRAC6 Enterprise card provides access to advanced iDRAC6 features. The iDRAC6 Enterprise
connects directly to the R515 planar and is mounted parallel to the planar with stand-offs.
Key features for the iDRAC6 Enterprise include:
• Scripting capability with Dell’s Racadm command-line
• Remote video, keyboard, and mouse control with Virtual Console

Additionally, the iDRAC6 Enterprise can be upgraded by adding the vFlash Media card. This is a 1 GB Dell

expanded to include additional features.
